While I like the Quna outfit as a whole, the Base on its own with the open slit is kinda weird, and so are the color combos of the Forge Line [Ba] recolors. Aside from that, I'm liking most of the hairstyles, so they will probably be on the more expensive side.

Sat, 16 Feb 2019 00:18:42 GMTSo I've been in Japan with my fiance' for a little over a week now, and we've found a small amount of Phantasy Star merch.
Not without difficulty, although the current Sweets Paradise cafe collab made it easy and rewarding to find a good chunk of merch in one place. Namely some plushes, bags, phone accessories, gacha pins, body pillows, and a few other nicknacks. (No clothing items sadly)
Besides that we've found 1 Matoi figure at Trader2 in Akihabara, and a 25th anniversary book and rare retro concept art book in a place/area called Akihabara X (it's under a bridge and possibly a thrift store).
I'm wondering if anyone knows off-the-bat where else would be smart to check out.
We've been to a few Mandarake as they seem popular, but have only found a single item -a figure- that was the same one we'd already found, just bigger.
I feel bad asking the store workers if they have any PS merch or not.
I know people probably buy online more often but, it defeats the purpose of us being here right now and being able to find it in person.. and for much cheaper.
Any help would be very appreciated ^u^
(I will post pictures of all goods we find and detail where we got them when we get back to the states.)

Tue, 12 Feb 2019 13:37:11 GMTHi all,

It's been a long time since I've played PSO2. I'm needing a break from PSOBB and PSU still isn't quite there yet.

I haven't really played much PSO2 in about 18 months or so. I've had a glance through the PSUblog for updates etc although a lot of it seems a little alien to me.

I figure I'll make a new character so I can get to grips with the game from start to finish. I wanted to ask if it's still possible to play the story from Episode 1 as I never actually played it. Is the story fully translated? Is the story a sequal to the original PSO and PSOBB storyline?

Are we up to Episode 5 now? Is Ship 2 still the place to be for english speaking players? Did challenge mode ever get revitalised?

What rarity weapons are we up to now? What rarity weapons are purchaseable in player shops?

Also, is there much end game content? I seem to recall the lack of variety was what killed PSO2 for me whenever I played it for prolonged periods. The same few quests and the 12 player parties where a few OP players are racing to the finish and the whole pace of the game felt like it left a lot of people in the lurch if they didn't keep up the pace with the group.

Anyways, I'm not sure what class to play as. I tend to play solo most of the time. I tried most of the classes, although I never capped a character. I recall Ranger with weak shot had some very OP abilities. I guess I'm looking for good AOE damage for mobs and a few very powerful abilities to take down bosses without too much drama when soloing.

Did they ever balance the PA's so that there wasn't just a select few that everyone used?

Endless 2: Electric Boogaloo
-- Now featuring 35 new rooms!
-- Duo and Trio play modes and Titles have been added. Drink Shops and Recovery Pods have been added to Interval Areas.
-- Stage Orders change dynamically based on the number of players.
-- New SSAs:
--- S1:Erosion of Power: Grant a 25% chance to inflict the Jellen status when attacking an enemy.
--- S2:技巧縮減: Reduce PP consumption for 30 seconds upon hitting with a PA/Technique. Has a low chance to grant amplified effects. Triggers Recast upon activation.
--- S3:撃流の備: Decrease damage taken by 1% for every 300,000 damage dealt. Maxes at 15%.
--- S3:撃流縮減: Decrease PP consumption by 1% for every 300,000 damage dealt. Maxes at 15%.
--- S3:撃流の功: Increase Critical Hit Rate by 2% for every 300,000 damage dealt. Maxes at 30%.

Yamato Factor is still too expensive!
-- Yamato will return to the schedule in EP6! Furthermore, Yamato Factor's drop rate will be permanently enhanced!

Where's my Evleda Unit upgrades, SEGA? You've postponed them three times already!
-- Due for EP6! The upgraded Units will be revealed in Summer!

Perpetual Madness Trigger?
-- Due for April (following a rule that EQ must be out for at least a half year before its Quest Trigger is released)

Why can't I eat Chocolates and Donuts at the same time? Stomach cramps?
-- The ability to eat Seasonal Food (like Chocolates) and Event Food (Donuts) at the same time will be added in White Day.

Support Fire doesn't work, SEGA! Fix it!
-- Issues with Point Assist and Support Fire will be addressed in EP6. (Hopefully. Maybe.)

Tier 7 Graphics? I want Mother to be so stupidly bright that I go blind!
-- Unfortunately, Tier 7 is not being considered for EP6.

Where's Zalure?
-- Zalure will not be implemented since Weak Bullet more or less takes its place.

Who's crazy enough to make Returner V 7s?
-- 9 people! No one has made Returner V 8s yet.

Who has Forever Loner? Is it more GU/FIs that overwhelmingly dominate the meta?
-- Yes! 29 players have Forever Loner; 24 are GU/FI, 4 are Hero, and one is FI/HU.

1100 Titles sounds difficult for a new player! How many can we get now?
-- A player who is just starting out will be able to get approximately 1400 Titles.

Stop teasing us and tell us when EP6 is!
-- EP6's release date will be announced on March 10th!

WHERE ARE MY CELESTIAL UNITS
-- Persona's Unit drop rate is identical on both Super Hard and Extra Hard difficulties. The main difference between the two are weapon drops.

More Type-0s please?
-- Under consideration, but if they are implemented, they will be introduced gradually instead of all at once.

Can I get Coat Barrel and Coat Talis anywhere else?
-- Not for now, but other ways to get them will be implemented later.

Gathering in Enchanted Forest?
-- No plans at the moment.

The More You Know
-- When obtaining a Bonus Key from the Team Shop, the expiration date of the Key is set upon acquisition rather than purchase.
-- Abend Rose [Ba] has a transparent back.
-- You can tell where a Wurmritter is burrowing if you walk over the location where it dove underground.
-- You can access the turret terminals in Urban even if you are in Dark Blast.
-- Weak Stance does not apply to DF Persona's mask until the mask becomes cracked, even if WB is applied. Once the mask is cracked, Weak Stance becomes applicable if WB is applied.
-- If you have a weapon with Formchange, Weapon Hologram Ver. 1 will display the original weapon, while Weapon Hologram Ver. 2 will display the weapon after Formchange.
-- During the "Save the Lillipan!" E-Trial, the Gilnas becomes immune to damage while Dark Blast is active.

Oh, yeah, and I guess we can dress up like Nanoha and befriend [Persona] with extreme prejudice now, so that's something; though, maybe I'm just blind, but I can't see what the difference between the A and B variants of her costume are.

Short Notes:

-Shows off What we're going to be getting for the Nanoha Detonation collab
-New camos from the Triggered Persona fight (Triggers will drop from the regular Persona EM). Also drops the Amphitrite stone, at a comparable rate to Chronos Stone from Triggered Dragon. (Personal note: so not likely)
-Triggered Persona will behave different, have new actions, and is Lv95.
-UI changes - When selling items via My shop, you can now search/pricecheck the market for affixes, both with the same name as your equip, or affixes only, to a max of 4 affixes. (Right now you can only search for items of the same name and not the affixes)
-You can also search your item pack again (we had this before for a short period of time, but it was disabled due to technical issues)
-If you've completed the Ep5 story, Lisa, Regius, and Maria will all change their appearance to match their EP5 story versions.

Just as the title says, players have reported that the new Guidance of Training affix does not work as intended, and as a result, Sega has suspended all scheduled and random runs of Way of Chocolate 2019 EM. (All other scheduled EMs will still go on, only Chocolate 2019 is affected).

I have no clue what they're going to fill those now empty timeslots with.

Some players have had the unfortunate experience of watching their 100% affixes go down in flames (Dudu and Monica have unofficially gone passive-aggressive berserk, we'll say.)
